The Sukout (literally "Silent") are the thieves guild of the Caliphate organised into operation and independent cells which often compete within themselves. They guard their territories and their illicit businesses aggressively from those who do not belong to their order and will often pressgang unwitting souls into their schemes to further their aims.
Some speculate that they have no official leadership and merely self-organised thieves using the mystique of the legendary name of the guild to enforce their power. This is supported by the constant change and competition in the terms of the make up and territory of individual cells. However, those of the Jandicary and Pasdari who have made it their lives work to thwart and destroy the Sukout are convinced there is a council of elder thieves whom all cells pay tithes to and who organise the big deals within the seven cities.
